Chapter 417 - Using People (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing Bull Demon King’s words, Lu Ping couldn’t help but sigh. The Western Church was too overbearing sometimes.

Forcing others to join the religion, wasn’t that the act of a bandit?

Moreover, they weren’t allowed to bring their family along. For a normal demon like Bull Demon King, it was as if he was going to die.

However, the power of a saint was there after all. Although Bull Demon King also wanted to leave the Western Church, as long as he wasn’t forced to the last step, he still didn’t want to take such a risk.

It was better to die than to live.

Bull Demon King discussed some details with Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi before leaving.

After seeing him leave, Huang Xiaoqi frowned and said, “It seems that the Western Church has already taken us seriously. This time, they sent Bull Demon King and the Elephant-Riding Arhat. Next time, it might be worse.”

Saying this, she looked at Lu Ping curiously. “Hubby, why don’t you agree to assassinate the Elephant-Riding Arhat?”

Lu Ping shook his head, “Bull Demon King is a quasi-saint. From his words, it can be seen that even if he is a quasi-saint, he doesn’t have a 100% chance of killing the Elephant-Riding Arhat alone. It can be seen that the Elephant-Riding Arhat’s strength is extraordinary. If the two of you work together to assassinate that guy, can you say that Bull Demon King is holding back? Definitely not. If we go all out, it is still unknown who will kill him. If you kill the Elephant-Riding Arhat and obtain merit, then forget it. But if Bull Demon King kills the Elephant-Riding Arhat and obtains merit, not only will we help him for nothing, we will also have to deepen our enmity with the Western Church. Taking a step back, what if Bull Demon King harbors evil intentions and suddenly attacks you?”

Huang Xiaoqi laughed, “You don’t trust him?”

“Of course not!” Lu Ping said in a deep voice. “This is the first time we’ve met, why should I trust him? Now that the great calamity has already arisen, for the sake of merit and the Primal Purple Qi, who can trust who? So when you fight with him, go ahead and do whatever you want. After all, he is a quasi-saint, so he won’t be beaten to death by you. Don’t hold back, give him the chance to plot against you!”

Lu Ping had already thought it through. Although he said that Huang Xiaoqi would hold back, if he really went all out, he wouldn’t let her hold back.

“Hahaha!” As soon as Lu Ping’s voice fell, a burst of laughter sounded. Tongtian appeared at the door of the living room. He looked at Lu Ping and said with a smile, “You brat, you are indeed cruel. What if Bull Demon King was accidentally killed?”

......

Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t care if he is dead or not. I can’t say that something happened to my wife, right? Who asked him to come? Who asked him to ask me to cooperate with his act? To put it bluntly, since that fellow had a phone call from Sun Wukong , why didn’t he contact him directly? Instead, after arriving at Fengming Planet, he even sneaked into the Seven Phoenixes sect. It could be seen that he was also pondering about the idea of making a move. He must have sensed something and finally decided to ambush the Elephant-Riding Arhat! It was clear that he had made two preparations. In addition, I don’t have any friendship with him. Who knows if he will change his mind again? I can’t let my wife take the risk to play along with him! If he wants to obtain benefits, then he must bear the risk himself!”

Bull Demon King king never expected that Lu Ping had already seen through some of the meaning behind his actions.

Tongtian nodded in agreement, “That makes sense. We really can’t let you take the risk. But don’t worry, that old bull will never change his mind!”

“Why?”

“Because he saw me!”

Hearing this, Lu Ping was even more certain of his own thoughts.

This Bull Demon King had indeed entered the Seven Phoenixes sect with bad intentions. It was only because he was scared by Tongtian that he decided to ambush the Elephant-Riding Arhat.

However, Lu Ping’s eyes immediately narrowed!

Why did Tongtian appear in front of Bull Demon King?

If it wasn’t because he was willing, it was absolutely impossible for Bull Demon King to discover him!

Coincidence?

How could there be so many coincidences?

As his thoughts raced, Lu Ping seemed to have some ideas.

However, he didn’t expose them. Instead, he smiled and said, “Senior Tongtian, it seems like you don’t want that fellow to die.”

“That’s right,” Tongtian said.”So, you just need to use 80% of your strength. Your wife’s Nine Dragons Pendant is extremely powerful. With 100% of your strength, that old bull will not be able to withstand the sudden attack! Then 80% of your strength will be fine!”

Lu Ping made his decision.

However, Huang Xiaoqi had no objection.

After the Patriarch of the Heaven sect left, Huang Xiaoqi opened her mouth and said, “Why do I feel that the two of you have a tacit understanding? What kind of charade are the two of you playing?”

Lu Ping said softly, “It’s not really a charade. It’s just that Senior Tongtian probably wants to use Bull Demon King’s mouth to convey his message to the Western Church!”

“Why?” Huang Xiaoqi was a little puzzled.

Lu Ping stood up and stretched, saying, “The reason is very simple. He doesn’t want me to be on good terms with the people of the Western Church. That’s all.”

Lu Ping didn’t guess incorrectly. That was what the Patriarch of the Heaven sect meant.

If he appeared in front of Lu Ping, he would unknowingly label Lu Ping as him.

However, the Patriarch of the Heaven sect had thought that if Bull Demon King died, he would die. If he returned alive, he would be able to pass on the news. However, since Lu Ping was cooperating with him to act, he didn’t have any intention of killing Bull Demon King, he might as well save Bull Demon King’s life. This way, it would be more convenient for Bull Demon King to pass on the news.

As for whether Bull Demon King would pass on the news? This was inevitable. In order to get rid of the blame, the best way was to exaggerate the strength of the enemy!
